Hi I thought at least a mention of Adrian Legg was due. 'Technopicker' an album for all guitarphiles... For that matter check out Martin Simpson at www.martinsimpson.com , he's some guitarist, folk, but smooth and fluid... Cheers John

Hi I still haven't upgraded from Sonar 1 yet. Has anyone upgraded from Sonar 1 to 2 yet? If so I'd be interested to hear if you think it was worthwhile Cheers John

Hi Rod I use Sonar 1.x. Th first release was a little buggy, particularly with softsynths. Not exactly intuitive how you use them. The patches fixed most bugs. I haven't tried 2.0 yet, but I hear it's pretty good. I'm a long time cakewalk user, and I did like most of the feature adds from cakewalk 8 (the previous version I used). All in all I'm quite happy... Cheers John -
Hi Paul You could always post more... Did you check the songstuff akai links? Cheers John

Thanks Nightwolf...

Hi Guess the one who got me first was Jimmy Page, followed closely by Paul Kossof and Stephen Stills. Hendrix was probably the most influential in the early days of my playing. It was so loose and flowing. After that I got more into songwriting and the focus of guitar playing changed quite alot. The styles I tend to play now are varied but I can see some element of the early influences on my own established guitar style. Not much, but some. In fact, I tend to mainly play acoustic guitar now so there's not much chance for Crosstown Traffic to creep in! So, what's your story? Cheers John

Hi I was thinking of moving the news section contents onto the main page, instead of on a page of it's own. Got an opinion? Cheers John

Hi david Excellent! I look forward to hearing your first tracks with it! Cheers John

Hey GFB I've not tried VST instruments, and experienced problems with DXi when I first got Sonar. What problem are you seeing? Cheers John
-
Hi Tom I just thought I'd ask you if you found the articles useful? Is there anything missing? Something I could have added that would help? Cheers John
-
Hi Thought I'd kick off by suggesting Behringer gear reviews. So what have got/used? What do you think of their gear? Cheers John

Hi Didier Thanks! John

Hey Tom Do you perform a spectral analysis on the finished track before applying final mix compression? Basically, apart from carefully applying any compression to individual tracks the mix can cause spikes at particular frequencies. You need to identify these peaks (Use Wavelab or similar). Before you get to this stage you should plan your mix and apply EQ so that instruments fit into a known frequency range. This way you can manage the mix better and reduce the amount of unforeseen peaks. Overall this means that the instruments in the mix will have better clarity and separation, without necessarily boosting their overall volume. there's an article in the features section on EQ, and compression and an EQ reference giving some suggestions on different instruments and frequency ranges. Hope this helps, or at least starts you off... Cheers John

Hi Tom I would have to say I'm really happy with my NT2. Well worth a look and not too expensive. I've been using it for about a year. The vocals on Miserable Girl were recorded with it www.mp3.com/BibiM if that's any use. Cheers John

I haven't played a gig in a while. Missing it lots... John

I knew a guy who had a Black Panther kit, and he wouldn't shut up about it. When we went to local gigs we would take bets on how long it would take for 'Richie' to introduce himself to the drummer. Usually within a few sentences he would mention that he had a 'Ludwig Black Panther'. Sad really. Cheers John

Hi TheOne Producers can be such a difficult lot Surely they must have a fair idea of the tempo? I know they like to have control but..... Cheers John

Hi I used to use Cubase years ago on my old Atari, I then converted to using Cakewalk and haven't looked back. I wondered if any of you were more recent converts, moving on to Sonar, and what you thought of Sonar in comparison to Cubase. Why did you change over and what were the big changes that took a while to get your head around. Cheers John
